Dear Shareholders,
The year 2009 witnessed the celebration of Jordan Islamic Bank of its 30th anniversary, which commenced its businesses by opening the first branch on 22/9/1979, having the privilege to pioneer the Islamic banking business in Jordan. Throughout its course of business, the Bank has been keen to be faithful to its perspective, a pioneer in its field of business, distinct in its dealings, advanced in its methods of work, well-prepared to deal with all developments and responsive to the needs of its clients who believe in the Bank’s perspective in all circumstances. The Bank has also achieved a steady and balanced growth in its various activities, exemplified Sharia-compliant Islamic institutions and overcame all obstacles in its progress, taking into account the compliance with all laws, legislations, rules, regulations, instructions, traditions, and methods of control and inspection applicable to the conventional banks in the Kingdom, despite the apparent variance among their respective applications.
Throughout 2009, Jordan Islamic Bank continued its progress overcoming the global financial crisis and its negative consequences on the national and regional economies. The Bank’s total assets amounted to nearly JD (2.5) billion at a growth of about (13.9%). The total balances of saving schemes were about JD (2.2) billion at a growth of approximately (16.2%). The total assets of financial investments amounted to about JD (1.6) billion at a growth of nearly (10.2%), and the profits of joint investment prior distribution were around JD (100) million. The Bank’s profits before tax amounted to about JD (39) million, with a return on equity of approximately (23%), while profit after tax amounted to about JD (28) million, with a return on equity of approximately (16.5%). The Board of Directors recommended the General Assembly to distribute dividends to shareholders at (12%) of the Bank’s paid capital.
This accomplishment is a success and grace from Allah glorified and exalted, and is the fruit of the continuous support from those believing in the perspective and approach of this institution. It is also attributed to the distinguished persistent efforts exerted by the Bank’s Executive Management and employees, May Allah reward you all on our behalf the best reward.
The Bank will pursue its straightforward path, In Sha’ Allah, serving its mission, responding to the needs of the national economy and local community and taking part in every good work, whenever possible.

All Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,And Prayers and Peace be upon Mohammedhis Servant and Messenger.
Dear Shareholders,
In 2009, the Bank celebrated its 30th anniversary since the commencement of its activities, proving throughout its progress the profound experience of the Islamic banks and the capability of the economic fundamentals in the Islamic Sharia to effectively deal with the recent developments. Throughout its course of business, the Bank has been keen to ensure that people have easy access to its services. To this end, the Bank’s branch network expanded at a relatively fast pace to comprise (57) branches and (12) offices at the end of 2009 covering all regions of the Kingdom. The number of employees went in parallel with the development witnessed by the Bank until they totaled (1755) employees by the end of 2009. In addition, automated teller machines (ATMs) were distributed and connected to the Jordanian Network of Automated Teller Machine, which in turn is connected to the Visa Global ATMs Network outside Jordan. The number of these ATMs reached (76) by the end of 2009.
The Bank kept pace with the state-of-the-art banking technologies. Most of computer and internet technologies were introduced to the Bank’s business and operations, and branches and automated teller machines were electronically linked. In addition, fast transfers service was introduced, the electronic clearing service replaced the automated clearing service and the bankcards service (Visa, MasterCard, Visa Electron) has been expanded, where the number of valid cards amounted to approximately (267) thousand cards by the end of 2009.
The Bank started with a capital of JD four million in 1979 and has recently become one hundred million JD. The shareholders’ equity grew until it reached nearly JD (176.8) million by the end of 2009.
Since 1989, the Bank has been ranked third among the banks sector in Jordan, which are currently (23) banks. The Bank’s total assets accounted for nearly (7.7%) of the total assets of the banking sector. The total balances of its saving schemes accounted for approximately (10.8%) of the total client deposits of the whole banking sector. Moreover, the Bank’s total balances of financial investments accounted for about (11.7%) of the total direct credit facilities of the banking sector.
With the grace of Allah and the people’s support; the Bank has played an effective role in the economic and social life. As for the mobilization of national savings, the Bank has been able to attract various segments of the society to deal with, especially small deposit owners. Therefore, the Bank has a broad depositor base. The active accounts exceeded (736) thousand accounts by the end of 2009, with an average balance of around JD (2900) per account.

The Bank directs these deposits towards investments directly flowing into the development channel, providing job opportunities that reduce unemployment and contributing to the development of national exports and foreign currencies flow to the national economy. It provides finance for various social and economic activities, benefiting many health, educational, industrial, services, commercial, housing and other facilities. The Bank continuously identifies the basic and essential needs of citizens and seeks to meet them through its branches spreading in the Kingdom’s various regions on terms suitable for their circumstances. Thus, we find that the Bank’s financial investments are made up mostly of relatively small projects and operations that benefit large numbers of citizens in the Kingdom. This is evident in the cumulative number of Murabaha financing operations executed by the Bank in the local market till the end of 2009, which amounted to about (563) thousand processes with a total value of approximately JD (5.3) billion, i.e. the average value of one transaction was only about JD (9.5) thousand. Among the needs that seem necessary for citizens are housing, transportation, and furniture. Total cumulative financing provided for these purposes accounted for around (41.8%) of total Murabaha financing, and nearly (73.1%) of the cumulative number of Murabaha financing transactions. In addition, the Bank provides financing to professionals such as doctors, pharmacists, engineers and craftspersons.
Moreover, nearly (90%) of the existing operations for accounts receivable of Murabaha financing at the end of 2009 are accounts receivable of operations, of which the financing per operation does not exceed JD (40) thousand.
The Bank continued its social role and contribution to fostering interdependence and solidarity relationships among society individuals. It also reiterated its Islamic and humanitarian mission through sponsoring activities of social nature, participating in such activities and supporting them. The total donations provided by the Bank for various charitable activities by the end of 2009 amounted to around JD (5.7) million, while the good loans (Al-Qard Al-Hasan) provided for justified social purposes amounted to JD (109.4) million benefiting nearly (238) thousand citizens. The mutual insurance fund sponsored by the Bank compensated (1078) death and total disability cases of the Bank debtors with a total amount of around JD (2.9) million by the end of 2009. In the same context, the Bank provides training opportunities within its premises for students of various educational institutions, where the total number of trainees amounted to (10535) by the end of 2009.
Dear Shareholders,
Certain indicators have shown signs of recovery in the global economy, including improved indicators of global stock prices. This recovery came after more than a year since the beginning of the global financial crisis and high oil prices that stabilize most of the time above the level of seventy dollars per barrel after they declined in the beginning of the crisis to less than forty dollars per barrel. However, this recovery appears to be slow, and some fear that these indicators are deceptive and result in compromising international commitments agreed upon in the G20 meetings to reorganize, revitalize and reform the global financial system, as well as undermining the plans and procedures of developed countries to overcome the crisis and mitigate its effects.
Many attribute the origin of the crisis to the accumulated imbalances in the US economies known by then as mortgage crisis, before turning into a major global economic crisis ravaging the economies of both developed and developing countries, leading to the collapse of a group of banks and financial institutions and causing chaos in the financial markets. This resulted in the sharp decline in global stock prices, large fluctuations in the prices of major currencies against each other and significant reduction in interest rates. For example, the price of interest on the U.S. dollar has been reduced to between (0 - 0.25%).
At the regional level, the hotbeds of tension in our region remained blazing during 2009. Occupation is still dominating Palestine and Iraq in addition to anxiety, fear, concern and bloodshed accompanying this situation. Despite the implications of these events surrounding Jordan, the initial estimates indicate positive growth in the real Gross Domestic Product. During the first three quarters of 2009, the growth rate was about (2.7%) against (9.1%) during the same period of the previous year. Estimates indicate that this growth will reach nearly (3%) by the end of 2009. The inflation rate during 2009 has been negative as it reached (0.7%) compared to (13.9%) during 2008. This was due to the price reduction of commodity and imported oil after the recent economic events.

The net public debt has risen by the end of November 2009 compared with its level at the end of 2008 by JD (1099.8) million, or at (12.9%), to reach about JD (9651) million.
During 2009, the trading volume of Amman Stock Exchange recorded JD (9.7) billion, with a decrease of around JD (10.6) billion or at (52.4%) compared to the volume of the same period in 2008. The market-value weighted index of free shares has decreased by (224) points or at (8.1%) to reach (2534) points by the end of 2009.
With regard to the monetary policy, the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) continues its policy that aims at consolidating monetary stability and maintaining an appropriate level of foreign currency reserve to strengthen confidence in the Jordanian Dinar as well as a relative stability in prices level. As a result, the reserves reached around USD (10.9) billion at the end of 2008, with an increase of around USD (3.1) billion beyond its level at the end of 2008.
The policy of dinar-dollar peg which began in 1996 was maintained at JD (0.708) for buying and JD (0.710) for selling per one USD, allowing the JD to fluctuate against other foreign currencies according to the exchange rate developments of these currencies in the international markets. In light of the financial crisis, the US dollar exchange rate experienced significant fluctuation against other currencies, resulting in fluctuation in JD exchange rate as it reached nearly (0.944) Euro by the end of November 2009, although it reached about (1) Euro at the end of 2008. To cope with the reduction in the USD interest rate, to encourage investment and to accelerate the national economy wheel, the CBJ reduced the rediscount rate on the Jordanian Dinar three times during 2009. The last reduction was made on 20 December 2009 until it reached (4.75%) after it was (6.25%) at the end of 2008. The weighted average of interest rates on loans and advances decreased during 2009 by about (41) base points to reach (9.07%). Despite the current obstacles, the Bank managed by the success granted by Allah to achieve new growth in its various activities. The Board of Directors is pleased to introduce you to the most important achievements in 2009 as well as the future ambitions.
First: Capital
The decision of the extraordinary General Assembly held on 27 February 2009 was implemented, i.e. increasing the capital by JD (18.75) million to become JD (100) million instead of JD (81.25) million.

All Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,And Prayers and Peace be upon MohammedAnd his kins and followers.
To Messrs/ Shareholders of the Jordan Islamic Bank,Assalmu Alikum Wa Rahmtu Allah Wa Baraktu,
Pursuant to the Jordanian Banks Law No. 28 of 2000 and its provisions related to Islamic banks, and in accordance with the Bank’s Articles of Association, the Board presents the following report: The Sharia Supervisory Board monitored the principles used and the contracts related to the transactions and the applications launched by the Bank during the fiscal year ended on 31 December 2009. It also conducted the required monitoring to express an opinion on whether the Bank has complied with the Sharia rules and Fatwas, decisions, and the specific guidelines we issued, and to ensure the Bank’s compliance with them. The Bank’s management holds the responsibility of implementing its transactions according to the rules of the Islamic Sharia, whereas our responsibility is limited to expressing an independent opinion based on our monitoring of the Bank’s transactions and issuing a report to you. Our monitoring comprised examining the documentation and the procedures followed by the Bank on the basis of testing each type of transactions through the Internal and Sharia Audit Department. We have planned and implemented our monitoring in order to obtain all the information and interpretations that we deemed necessary to provide us with sufficient evidences to give reasonable assurance that the Bank did not violate Sharia rules and principles.
Our Opinion:A: The contracts, operations and transactions concluded by the Bank during the year ended on 31 December
2009, which we reviewed, were conducted according to the Sharia rules and principles.B: The profits distribution and loss allocation to the investment accounts complies with the principle we adopted
according to the Sharia rules and principles.C: All amounts devolved to the Bank from sources or by means that do not comply with the Sharia rules and
principles were not incorporated in the Bank’s revenues and are spent for charitable purposes.D: The responsibility of paying Zakat falls on the shareholders. The Bank’s management is not authorized to
pay Zakat directly, as there is no law to that effect, and the Bank’s Articles of Association do not stipulate such an action nor do the decisions of the General Assembly or the shareholders’ authorization. Therefore, the shareholder shall pay the Zakat of his shares when the Sharia conditions and controls of Zakat apply, while considering the following:
If the intention upon purchasing shares or subscribing for shares is trading, then he should pay the Zakat of the market value of shares and dividends.If the intention upon purchasing shares or subscribing for shares is collecting profits and nottrading, then he should pay the Zakat of the dividends in addition to the Zakat assets of his shares in the Bank through inspection and assessment.
Thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds

Independent Auditors Report to the Shareholders of
Jordan Islamic BankAmman- The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Jordan Islamic Bank (Jordanian Public Shareholding Company), which consists of the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2009, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of the changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows, the consolidated statement of the sources and uses of good loans fund for the year then ended and a summary of the most important accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Responsibility of the Management for the Financial Statements:The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in compliance with the rules and principles of the Islamic Sharia as determined by the Sharia Supervisory Board of the Bank and in accordance with the standards of the (AAOIFI). This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that are free of material misstatements whether due to fraud or error, as well as selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors` Responsibility:Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards of the Islamic Financial Institutions, which require that we plan and perform the auditing procedures to obtain a reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements are free from any material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor`s judgment including the assessment of the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the Bank`s internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances, but not for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank`s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
67
Our Opinion:In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements mentioned above fairly show, in all material respects, the financial position of the Jordan Islamic Bank as of 31 December 2009, and its consolidated financial performance, consolidated cash flows and the consolidated statement of the sources and uses of good loans fund for the year then ended in accordance with the rules and principles of the Islamic Sharia as determined by the Sharia Supervisory Board, and in compliance with the Standards of the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).
Report on the Legal Requirements:The Bank keeps accounting records and entries duly organized, and the consolidated financial statements included in the Board’s report comply therewith and we recommend approving the same.

The opinion of Sharia Supervisory Board is binding to the Bank, and it is responsible for monitoring the bank’s operations and activities in terms of their compliance with the Sharia principles and state Sharia opinion (Fatwa) on formats of the contracts essential for the operations and activities of the bank, in addition to issuing an annual report to the General Assembly of Shareholders thereon.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
Bases of Financial Statements Preparation:The consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries financed from the Bank’s funds and the joint investment funds were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, in accordance with the effective domestic laws and as per the instructions of the Central Bank of Jordan.The Bank applies the standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic financial Institutions.The consolidated financial statements were prepared accorrding to the historical cost principle, other than the financial assets held for trading, financial assets available for sale, investments in Affiliates and real estate whose value is expected to increase and is carried at fair value on the date of financial statements.The Jordanian dinar is the currency of presenting the consolidated financial statements and represents the main currency of the Bank.A distinction should be made between equity holders and joint investment accounts holders.The investment risks fund shall be used to compensate the decrease in finance and investment accounts financed by unrestricted investment accounts.The standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee, which is part of the International Accounting Standards Board, shall be applied in case no standards are issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions and until Islamic standards are issued to supersede them.The unrestricted investment accounts refer to the joint investment accounts wherever mentioned herein.
77
Changes in Accounting PoliciesThe accounting policies followed in the year correspond to the accounting policies followed last year except that the Bank implemented the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee and the following amendments to the International Accounting Standards (IAS) effective as from January 1, 2009.
IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements– revisedThis standard distinguishes between changes in shareholders equity and other changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity includes the details of transactions with shareholders, while other changes in equity are presented in one separate item. In addition, this standard added the comprehensive income statement presenting all recognized revenue and expense items either in one statement or two related statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 8- Operating SegmentsThis standard replaced IAS 14 “Segment Reporting”. According to the new standard, the operating segments are similar to the business segments defined previously in IAS 14.
Bases of Financial Statements Consolidation:The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries financed from the Bank’s funds and the joint investment funds and subject to the Bank’s control. Control exists when the Bank is able to govern the financial and operating policies of subsidiaries in order to benefit from their activities. The transactions, balances, revenues and expenses described in Note (56) between the Bank and subsidiaries shall be eliminated. The financial statements of subsidiaries for the same fiscal year of the Bank shall be prepared using the same accounting policies applied in the Bank. The results of subsidiary operations shall be consolidated in the consolidated income statement as of the date of acquisition, which is the date the Bank’s control over subsidiaries is actually transferred. The results of disposed of subsidiary operations shall be consolidated in the consolidated income statement until the date of disposal, which is the same date the Bank loses control over subsidiaries.In case of preparing separate financial statements for the Bank as an independent entity, the investments in subsidiaries shall be carried at cost.
Segment Information:The business segment represents a group of assets and operations that all combine to provide products or services subject to risks and returns that are different from those related to other business segments, which are measured according to the reports used by the Executive Manager and the key decision maker at the Bank. The geographic segment is associated with the provision of products or services in a specific economical environment subject to risks and revenues different from those of segments operating in other economical environments.
Bases of Distributing Joint Investment Profits between Equity Holders and Unrestricted Investment Accounts Holders:10% shall be allocated to the Investment Risks Fund pursuant to Article (55) of the Jordanian Banks Law.The Bank’s share as speculator was deducted this year at 30% for both Jordanian Dinar and foreign currencies of total investment profits. The remaining balance is distributed between the unrestricted investment accounts and the Bank’s invested funds, each according to the percentage of its contribution to the joint investment funds, taking into consideration that the priority of employing investments belongs to the holders of unrestricted investment accounts.The joint investment accounts shall share the results of investment profits and shall be distributed to depositors, each according to his contribution and as per the terms of the account signed between the Bank and the depositor.
78
The joint investment accounts shall share profits on the following bases:- 50% of the annual rate of saving accounts balance.- 70% of the annual rate of notice accounts balance.- 90% of the lowest balance of time deposit accounts.
The Bank shall bear all administrative expenses and shall not bear any part of the unrestricted investment accounts whatsoever. The unrestricted investment accounts shall not share in any other revenues (banking operations revenues, revenues resulting from investment of current accounts, call accounts and the Bank’s own funds)
Sharia Non-Compliant Revenues, Gains, Expenses and Losses The Bank shall record the revenues, gains, expenses and losses violating the Islamic Sharia in a separate account within the other liabilities. They shall be spent on charitable activities as determined by the Sharia Supervisory Board.
Zakat:The responsibility of Zakat payment falls on shareholders, unrestricted and restricted investment accounts holders and participants in Muqarada bonds portfolios (investment portfolios) once the required conditions are satisfied.
Financial Assets Held for Trading:- They are financial investments acquired or constructed for the purpose of gaining profits through
short-term changes in prices or profit margin.- The financial assets held for trading shall be carried at fair value upon purchase and revalued at fair
value on the date of financial statements. The subsequent changes shall be carried at fair value in the consolidated income statement in the same period of change, including the change of fair value resulting from differences of translating non-cash assets at foreign currencies.
- The dividends or returns shall be carried in the consolidated income statement as realized (to be approved by the General Assembly of Shareholders).
Deferred Sale Receivables:
1-Murabaha Contracts:Murabaha: selling a commodity for the same price at which the seller bought it plus predetermined known profit, at a percentage of the price or a lump sum. It is one of the credit sales that relies on indicating the purchase price or cost.Murabaha to the Purchase-Orderer: an arrangement where the bank sells to a customer (purchase-orderer) a commodity with a specific increase in its price or cost after identifying such increase (Murabaha profit in Wa’ed). It is also called Banking Murabaha. The bank applies the principle of Wa’ed in Murabaha to purchase-orderer contracts as per the standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions.The revenues of deferred sales (whose price is fully paid at once that is due after the current financial period or is paid on installments over several subsequent financial periods) shall be recognized through distributing them to the future financial periods of the deferred period, in such a way that each financial period is allocated a certain share of profits regardless of whether or not payment is made in cash.Deferred sale receivables shall be carried at their face value as they occur and are measured at the end of the financial period on the basis of net realizable cash value.
2-Assets Available for Forward Sale:The assets acquired by the bank for the purpose of selling them on basis of forward sale (in installments). This type of selling assets is also called installment-bargain sale to distinguish it from Murabaha to purchase-orderer.The assets available for forward sale shall be carried at cost upon contracting and are measured on the basis of cost (purchase value and any direct expenses related to acquisition)
79
The assets available for forward sale shall be evaluated at the end of the financial period at their fair value and the change amount resulting from valuation–if any- shall be measured on the basis of the difference between the book value and the fair value. Unrealized Profits (losses) shall be recognized in the fair value reserve account.Profits in the forward sale transactions shall be recognized according to the accrual basis and distributed to the financial periods of the contract term. The profits of the upcoming years shall be recorded in the forward sale revenues account.The forward sale receivables shall be carried at their face value upon contracting (contracted value).
Musharaka Financing:
An arrangement where the bank and the client offer money in equal or different portions to establish a new project or contribute to an existing one, so that each party owns a share in the capital on a constant or diminishing basis and is entitled to payable dividends. Losses shall be shared according to each partner’s share in the capital and it is prohibited to stipulate otherwise. This type of financing is divided into constant Musharaka and diminishing Musharaka ending in ownership.The bank’s share in Musharaka capital shall be recorded upon delivery to the managing partner or deposit in the Musharaka Account and is measured at the value of the amount paid in cash or the fair value if it is in kind. If property valuation results upon contracting into a difference between the fair value and the book value, the difference shall be recognized as profit or loss.The bank’s share in the constant Musharaka capital at the end of the financial period shall be measured at the historical cost. In case of diminishing Musharaka , the capital shall be measured at the end of the financial period at the historical value less the historical value of the sold share at the fair value agreed upon. The difference between the two values shall be recognized as profit or loss in the consolidated income statement.The bank’s share in the profits or losses of Musharaka financing transactions which start and end during the financial period shall be recorded after liquidation. In case the Musharaka continued for more than one financial period, the bank’s share of the profits shall be recorded upon realization through complete or partial sharing of profits between the bank and the partner in the financial period where it occurred and within the limits of the distributed profits. As for the bank’s share of the losses for a financial period, it shall be recognized in the bank’s books for that period and within the limits of the losses by which the bank’s share in Musharaka capital is reduced.In case of losses as a result of the partner’s violation or negligence, the partner shall incur those losses as receivables.An impairment provision shall be established for deferred sale and other receivables if the amounts payable to the bank are uncollectable, an objective evidence of an event adversely affecting the future cash flows of deferred sale and other receivables is available and such impairment can be estimated. The provision value shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement. At the end of the financial period, the financing assets shall be recorded at cost or at the realizable cash value, whichever lower, and the difference shall be recorded as a provision of financing impairment.The revenues of non-performing deferred sales granted to clients shall be suspended according to the instructions of the Central Bank of Jordan.The deferred sale receivables and finances funded by unrestricted investment accounts are written off in case the procedures taken to collect them from the Investment Risk Fund are ineffective (except what is granted/financed and then written off from the deferred sale receivables and finances in the same year, as it is recorded in the consolidated income statement/charged to the investment revenues). The collected amounts from receivables/finances previously written off are added to the Investment Risk Fund (except what is recorded in the income statement/charged to the investment revenues). As for the deferred sale receivables and finances funded by the bank’s own funds and for which an impairment provision is allocated, they shall be written off in case the procedures taken to collect them are ineffective by deducting them from the provision. In addition, any surplus in the total provision, if any, shall be transferred to the consolidated income statement, and the amounts collected from previously written off receivables/finances shall be added to revenues.
80
Financial Assets Available for Sale:Financial assets available for sale are other assets (investments) not held for trading, not held to maturity and not established by the Bank.Financial assets available for sale shall be carried at fair value in addition to the acquisition expenses upon purchase and are subsequently revalued to fair value. The change in fair value shall be stated in the fair value reserve item within the equity of unrestricted investment accounts holders and within the equity accounts in case these assets are financed by the Bank’s own funds.Unrealized losses resulting from valuation of financial assets available for sale shall be recorded in the fair value reserve item.In case these assets or part of them is sold or their value is impaired, resulting profits and losses shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement, including the amounts previously stated in unrestricted investment account holders equity or in equity accounts related to these assets.The impairment loss previously stated in the consolidated income statement is recoverable if it is objectively evident that the increase in fair value occurred in a period subsequent to stating impairment losses through fair value reserve.The profits resulting from financial assets available for sale shall be stated in the consolidated income statement on the date of distribution.The profits and losses resulting from differences of translating foreign currencies of equity instruments are stated in the fair value reserve item.The financial assets whose fair value cannot be reliably determined shall be stated at cost and any impairment in their value shall be stated in the consolidated income statement.
Financial Assets Held to Maturity:They are the assets (investments) that the Bank has a positive intent and ability to hold until the maturity date.They are carried at cost in addition to any direct expenses related to acquisition. In case of impairment that results in non-recoverability of the asset or any part of it at the end of the financial period, it shall be stated in the consolidated income statement as an impairment loss and these investments shall be stated at fair value after taking impairment value into consideration.It is not allowed to reclassify any financial assets from or to this item except in cases specified in the accounting standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions.
Investments in Affiliates:Affiliates are those companies over which the Bank exercises significant influence on decisions related to financial and operating policies, and are not subject to the Bank’s control, and in which the Bank owns from 20% up to 50% of the voting rights.Investment in Affiliates shall be carried at fair value. The difference between the cost and fair value shall be recorded in the change in fair value account within the fair value reserve item in the unrestricted investment accounts holders’ equity and within equity in case those investments are financed by the Bank’s own funds.
Ijarah and Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek:Ijarah is hiring an asset for consideration and is divided into:
Operating Lease: a lease contract which does not end in the lessee’s ownership of the leased assets.Lease ending-in-Onwership “Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek”: a lease contract which ends in the lessee’s ownership of the leased assets. It takes different forms as mentioned in the Ijarah and Ijarah Muntahia Bittamleek Standard issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions.
The assets acquired for Ijarah are measured at historical cost upon acquisition, including the direct expenses required to make them serviceable. The leased assets are depreciated according to the depreciation policy followed at the Bank.When the amount recoverable from any assets acquired for Ijarah is less than their net book value, their value shall be reduced to the recoverable value. The impairment value shall be stated in the consolidated income statement.Ijarah revenues shall be distributed in consistence with the financial periods covered by the Ijarah contract.
81
The expenses of leased assets maintenance shall be stated in the financial period where they occur.
Real Estate InvestmentsIt is acquisition of land or building or part of them to earn periodic rentals, to hold them for capital appreciation or both. Real estate investments acquired for capital appreciation shall be carried at cost in addition to acquisition expenses upon purchase, and shall be subsequently revalued to fair value. Any change in fair value shall be stated in the fair value reserve item within unrestricted investment account holders’ equity and within equity accounts in case these assets are financed by the Bank’s own funds.Unrealized losses resulting from valuation of real estate investments acquired for capital appreciation shall be stated in fair value reserve item to the extent permissible by the balance of such reserve. In case unrealized losses exceed the balance of this reserve, the excess amount shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement under the item of unrealized profits (losses) of Real Estate Investments acquired for capital appreciation.In case unrealized losses were recorded in previous financial period and valuation profits (unrealized) occurred in a subsequent financial period, then these profits shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement to the extent equal to the unrealized losses recorded in the consolidated income statement in previous periods. Any surplus in these profits shall be added to the fair value reserve. Realized profits (losses) resulting from the sale of any Real Estate Investments acquired for capital appreciation shall be measured on the basis of the difference between the book value and the net amount arising from the sale process. The outcome in addition to the previous share of this investment in the fair value reserve- if any- shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement of the current financial period.Real estate investments acquired to earn periodic rentals shall be carried at cost in addition to any acquisition-related expenses. This property shall be depreciated according to the depreciation policy followed at the Bank. When the recoverable amount in any of this property is less than their net book value, their value shall be reduced to the recoverable value and the impairment value shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement.
Joint Investment Risk Fund:The Bank deducts not less than 10% of the net profits of joint investment realized from various current transactions during the period. The above rate might increase pursuant to the directives of the Central Bank. The amended rate shall be effective after being increased in the fiscal year subsequent to the year in which the amendment is approved.The balance of the Joint Investment Risk Fund devolves to the Zakat fund after covering all expenses and losses for which the Fund was established to cover or amortize. Accordingly, the investors in the Islamic Bank shall have no right in the amounts deducted at the approved accumulated rate in the Joint Investment Risk Fund, as these are amounts are allocated to cover the losses of the joint investment operations.If any losses occurred in some joint investment operations that started and were completed in a certain year, these losses shall be covered by the profits realized in other joint investment operations that started and were completed within the same year. If losses exceed profits in the same year, then they shall be covered by the Joint Investment Risk Fund. If joint investment operations started and continued in previous years and it was found out in a certain year that such investment operations were failed operations in terms of results, their losses shall be covered by the Joint Investment Risk Fund.
Fair Value of Financial Assets:The closing prices (purchasing assets/selling liabilities) on the date of financial statements in active markets shall represent the fair value of financial instruments with market prices. In case there are no quoted prices, no active circulation of some financial instruments or the market is inactive; their fair value shall be estimated by comparing it to the current market value of a substantially similar financial instrument.In case of financial instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, they shall be stated at cost after deducting any impairment in their value.
82
Impairment of Financial Assets:The Bank shall review the values entered in records for financial assets on the date of the financial position statement to determine whether there is any indication of impairment in their values, individually or collectively. If any such indication of impairment exists, the recoverable value shall be estimated in order to determine the impairment loss.
Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets Stated at Fair Value:The market prices on the date of financial statements (when active markets for such assets exist) shall represent the fair value of non-financial assets stated at fair value. When such markets do not exist, they shall be estimated on the date of financial statements by taking the arithmetic mean of the estimated of three licensed and approved expertise houses.
Depreciation:A-Depreciation of Assets Available for Investment:
The assets available for investment shall be depreciated according to the policy adopted by the Bank related to the investment of these assets. In addition, these assets shall be depreciated according to their useful life based on straight-line depreciation method.
B-Property and Equipment:The property and equipment shall be carried at cost after deducting the accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The property and equipment (except lands) shall be depreciated when they are ready for use according to the straight-line depreciation method over their expected useful life using the following rates:
Item %
Buildings 2%
Equipment, Appliances, Furniture 2.5% - 15%
Means of Transportation 15%
Computers 25%
The useful life of property and equipment shall be reviewed at the end of each year. If the useful life expectations are different from pre-prepared estimates, the change shall be recorded in the estimate of subsequent years, as considered a change in estimates.When the amount recoverable from property, equipment and assets available for investment is less than their net book value, their value shall be reduced to the recoverable value and the impairment value shall be stated in the consolidated income statement.
Intangible Assets:The intangible assets shall be classified on the basis of estimating their life for definite or indefinite period of time. The intangible assets with definite life shall be amortized during this lifetime and the amortization shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement. As for the intangible assets with indefinite life, the impairment in their value shall be reviewed on the date of financial statements and any impairment shall be stated in the consolidated income statement.The intangible assets resulting from the Bank’s transactions shall not be capitalized and shall be recorded in the consolidated income statement in the same period.Any indications of intangible assets impairment shall be reviewed on the date of financial statements.

Employee Leaves provision:The employee leaves provision shall be calculated pursuant to the Bank’s bylaws, and the amounts shall be transferred to this provision in accordance with the accrual basis.
Income tax:Tax expenses shall represent the accrued and deferred taxes.Accrued tax expenses shall be calculated on the basis of taxable profits. The taxable profits differ from profits declared in the financial statements, as declared profits include non-taxable revenues, non-deductable expenses in the fiscal year but rather in subsequent years, accumulated taxably accepted losses or non-deductable items for tax purposes.The Bank shall deduct income tax provision pursuant to the Income Tax Law No. 57 of 1985 and its subsequent amendments as well as the International Accounting Standard No. 12 which requires recognition of deferred taxes resulting from time differences of fair value reserve. Accordingly, the Bank may incur deferred tax liabilities.Deferred taxes are those which are expected to be paid or recovered as a result of temporary time differences between the value of assets or liabilities in the financial statements and the value on which the tax profit is calculated. The deferred taxes are calculated using the method of commitment to the statement of financial position, and the deferred taxes shall be calculated according to the tax rates expected to be applied upon settlement of tax obligation or realization of deferred tax assets.The balance of deferred tax assets shall be reviewed on the date of financial statements and shall be reduced in case it is not probable to wholly or partially benefit from those tax assets.
Capital:Costs of Issuing or Purchasing the Bank’s Stocks:
Any costs resulting from issuing or purchasing the Bank’s stocks shall be charged to the retained earnings (on net basis after the tax effect of these costs, if any). If the issuance or purchasing is not completed, these costs shall be recorded as expenses in the consolidated income statement.

Offsetting:Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset. The net amount shall be stated in the statement of financial position only when the legal binding rights are available and when they are settled on the basis of offsetting, or when the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occur at the same time.
84
Revenues Realization and Expenses Recognition:Revenues are realized and expenses are recognized on accrual basis, other than deferred sale revenues and non-operating finances that are not recognized as revenues and are stated in the outstanding revenues account.The commissions shall be recorded as revenues upon offering relevant services, and the dividends of companies’ stocks shall be recognized upon realization (approved by the General Assembly of Shareholders).
Date of Recognizing Financial Assets:The purchase and selling of financial assets shall be recognized on the date of trading (the date of the Bank’s commitment to sell or purchase financial assets).
Foreign Currencies:Transactions in foreign currencies during the year shall be recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the date of transaction (Exchange/Taqabud).The balances of financial assets and financial liabilities shall be translated at the prevailing average exchange rates of foreign currencies on the date of financial position statement declared by the Central Bank of Jordan.Non financial assets and non financial liabilities shall be translated at foreign currencies and shall be stated at fair value on the date of determining their fair value.The profits and losses resulting from foreign currencies translation shall be stated in the consolidated income statement.The translation differences of non-cash assets and liabilities at foreign currencies (such as stocks) shall be recorded in the fair value reserve.
Cash and Cash Equivalent:It is cash and cash balances that are due within three months and include: cash, balances at central banks and balances at banks and banking institutions. The deposits of banks and banking institutions that are due within three months as well as restricted balances shall be deducted.
3. Using Estimates:The preparation of financial statements and the application of accounting policies require the Bank’s management to make estimates and judgments affecting the amounts of financial assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent liabilities. Furthermore, these estimates and judgments shall affect revenues, expenses and provisions as well as the changes in fair value stated in both equity and unrestricted investment account holders’ equity. Particularly, the Bank’s management shall be required to issue significant judgments to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows. The said estimates are essentially based on multiple assumptions and factors with varying degrees of estimation and uncertainty. The actual results might differ from estimates as a result of the changes induced by the conditions and circumstances of those estimates in the future.We believe that our estimates in light of the financial statements are reasonable, and they are detailed as follows:
- Impairment provision of sale receivables and finances: the Bank shall deduct 10% of the net revenues of joint investment accounts to be transferred to the Joint Investment Risk Fund in accordance with Article 55 of the Banks Law. Then this rate shall be compared to the provision of these receivables and finances within the bases established by the Central Bank of Jordan.
- Income Tax Provision: income tax shall be charged to the relevant fiscal year in accordance with the accounting systems, laws and standards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as the necessary tax provision shall be calculated and stated.
- The Bank’s management shall carry out a periodic review of the financial assets carried at cost to estimate any impairment in their value, and impairment is stated according to the financing body of those investments.

These measures take into consideration the appropriate steps to comply with the Sharia principles.The Bank’s organizational structures complement each other in risk management, each according to its competences. This helps in developing and controlling policies and regulations at an appropriate level for each type of risk the Bank faces with a view to realizing the acceptable level of returns to shareholders without compromising the financial solvency of the Bank. In this framework, the work of the Risk Management Department at the Bank complements with the committees emanating from the Board of Directors and the Executive Management (Risk Management Committee and Assets and Liabilities Management Committee).
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures:
1- Credit Risk and Concentration in Assets and Liabilities:
The daily practice of banking activities involves the Bank’s exposure to many risks including the credit risk resulting from the other party’s default or failure to fulfill its obligations towards the Bank, which consequently results in losses. On its part, the Bank ensures that these risks do not surpass the already specified general framework in the Bank’s credit policy and seeks to maintain their levels within the balanced relationship between risks, returns and liquidity.In addition to the Risk Management Department, a number of committees in the Board of Directors and Executive Management manage the credit risks at the Bank associated, by determining the ceilings of credit facilities that can be granted to a single client (individual or institution) and relevant accounts in consistence with the instructions issued by the Central Bank of Jordan. The Bank controls the credit risks through assessing the credit position of clients on a periodic basis according to the Clients Risk Assessment System at the Bank, which is based on the assessment of credit risk elements and default possibilities for administrative, financial or competitive reasons. Furthermore, the Bank receives proper assurances from clients in the necessary cases and according to the risk levels of each client and each process of granting additional facilities.The Bank’s policy of credit risks management comprises the following:
1. An available clear credit and investment policy and strategy approved by the Board of Directors.
2. Identifying the credit concentrations and ceilings:The credit policy includes specific and clear rates of the maximum limit of credit that can be granted to any client. Moreover, there are ceilings for the credit that can be granted by each administrative level.
113
3. Identifying Methods of Risk Mitigation:The risk management process in the Bank depends on a number of methods to mitigate risks, including:
-Distributing and diversifying credit investments to various sectors and geographical locations.
- The availability of clear credit and investment ceilings those are consistent with the instructions of the Central Bank of Jordan for each type of investment.
- Guarantees based on their liquidity and their coverage of the granted credit.- The authorities of approving credits differ from an administrative level to the other and
depend on the financing volume and the degree of risk.4. Restricting the Risks of Assets and Liabilities Concentration:
The Bank operates effectively to mange this aspect of risks. The annual plan of the Bank involves a targeted distribution of credits to a number of sectors while concentrating on the promising sectors at the same time. Further, the plan also consists of distributing credits to the geographical areas inside the Kingdom.
5. Studying, Monitoring and Following- up Credit:The Bank develops the required procedures and policies to determine the method of reviewing credits and maintaining the impartiality and integration of the decision making process, ensuring that the credit risks are accurately assessed, properly approved, continually followed-up, and continually monitored.The general framework of the credit policy involves the authorities of approving credits, clarifying the credit limits and the method of specifying the degree of risk.
Within the organizational structure of the bank, there is a segregation of the business units in charge for granting credits and those in charge for overseeing credit in terms of granting terms, the soundness of the credit decision, ensuring that all terms of granting the credit are fulfilled, committing by the limits and restrictions mentioned in the credit policy in addition to other relevant instructions.

The total amount of these receivables/ finances was JD (19,824,263) as on December 31, 2009. Taking in consideration that there are no restructured receivables and they were reclassified as receivables/finances under monitoring as of December 31, 2008.

3. Market Risks:
The market risks result from fluctuations in the value of marketable assets or renting, exchange rates, stocks rates, commodity rates and leased assets. The Bank works to mitigate these risks through:
1. Diversifying investments and distributing them on a number of sectors and geographical areas.2. Studying the orientation of future investment rates, exchange rates and investment in light of such
studies.3. Setting limits to investments on the level of the country, currency, market, instrument and the
other party.4. Examining the credit position of the other party before starting an investment.5. Adapting the currency positions with the instructions of the Central Bank.
The bank uses sensitivity analysis to measure the market risks for each type of market risks (returns Rates Risks, Foreign Currency Risks, Risks of Stock Rates Change and of Concentration ofCurrency Rates Risks) A number of indicators were used to determine the impact of the income sensitivity to change in the non-trading financial assets, retained financial liabilities, the sensitivity of ownership equities and the investment accounts holders to the change in the steady state of the financial assets available for sale financed by the joint funds. Also, the bank relied on a number of assumptions related to the change of Murabaha rates, Amman Stock Exchange indexes and the currency rates, etc.
A. Rate of Return RisksThe average returns risks are induced by the overall risks included in the lists of the financial position. Any rise in the comparative standard rates may lead to the investment accounts holders expectation of a higher return rate. The return rate risks differ from the interest rates risks in that the companies are interested in the results of their investment activities by the end of the investment term and these results cannot be accurately predetermined.
122
The bank is exposed to the returns rate risks as a result of a gap in the amounts of assets and liabilities according to the different maturity dates or the re-pricing of the return rates accrued to subsequent transactions within a specific period of time. The bank manages these risks by specifying the future rates of profits according to market expectations and developing new instruments that comply with the Islamic Sharia through the risk management strategy at the bank.
The bank manages these risks through:1. Managing the gaps of return rates and cost of assets and liabilities according to the different
maturity dates.2. Studying the orientation of investment rates and the future exchange rates and investments in light
of this study.

b. Foreign Currency RisksThe foreign currency risks are risks associated with a change in the value of financial instruments as a result of a change in the foreign currency rates.

The Bank`s policy in managing foreign currencies is based on liquidating position continually and covering the required positions according to the clients` needs.
